Subject: [PATCH] mm: prevent KASAN false positives in kmemleak
Date: Wed, 22 Jun 2016 19:47:11 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1466617631-68387-1-git-send-email-dvyukov@google.com> (raw)

When kmemleak dumps contents of leaked objects it reads whole
objects regardless of user-requested size. This upsets KASAN.
Disable KASAN checks around object dump.
